Chapter 14: Back to Back Away
October 28 is the opening day of the 03-04 season, there are only three games on this day, of course, the most watched game is naturally the Lakers and Mavericks matchup, Liu Han's big triple-double and the Mavericks lead the Lakers double-digit end of the game is something that many people did not expect, after all, the Lakers' lineup is still very strong on the surface.

At the post-game press conference, O'Neal and Phil Jackson attended the press conference together, O'Neal did not comment too much on the game itself, but said that Liu Han was very happy to be back, but Phil Jackson praised the Mavericks' tactics and said that the Mavericks have a strong offensive power, and the Mavericks will have a bright future this season.
Although there are many people who say that Phil Jackson will only rely on superstars to lead the team, I have to admit that Phil Jackson's "appearance" is indeed the top in the league, after all, people like "Bald" - Van Gundy, "Fat" - Van Gundy, "Sloppy" - George Crent, "Old Immortal" - Nelson are not as good as Phil Jackson with a gentlemanly smile.
Old Nelson also appeared at the press conference with Liu Han, and made a lot of official articles, without much comment on Liu Han's performance, just complimenting the losing side, O'Neal listened and grinned on the side, these "old ghosts" who have experienced years of turmoil in the NBA are more shrewd than the other.
In the other two games on the 28th, the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Miami Heat 89-74.
The Seven Sixers were killed by Randy after Larry Brown left? Els takes over as head coach, and the new Randy? Ells Shaw did not change the team's style of play, and the 76ers relied on Iverson for offense and team for defense.
The Heat, on the other hand, are in complete rebuild, with Pat Riley taking a back seat due to last season's poor record, and he put his disciple Stan "Fatty" Van Gundy as head coach, even though the fat man had only experience as an assistant coach before.
As soon as Van Gundy took office, the first person he trusted was Dwyane, a rookie who also came to the Heat this year? Wade.
Both teams have also undergone a change of coach, but the result of this game looks like the 76ers are better, Iverson played 45 minutes, scored 26 points, 11 assists and 5 rebounds, and on the other side of the rookie Dwyane? Wade's 18 points as a first-time player in the NBA is not bad, but Wade's performance is still too poor at the core of the team.
And in the last game on the 28th, the Spurs won 83-82 against the Phoenix Suns.
Nash did not gain the trust of head coach Frank Johnson after returning to the Suns, on the contrary, he even sat on the bench, he was also passive when he left the Lakers, George Krent trusted him a lot, but there were people in the team's management who wanted to weaken George's influence, so Nash became a victim.
Both teams are playing more conservatively now, Popovich needless to say, his Spurs are always slow, and the current Suns are the same, the team emphasizes defense, and the offense is also orthodox tactics.
The two teams didn't decide until the last minute, and Ginobili's three-pointer seven seconds before the end gave the Spurs the last laugh.
After the game against the Lakers on the road, the Mavericks didn't have time to rest, and they had to head to Oakland immediately, and the Mavericks faced back-to-back starts on the road at the start of the season.
The first game is Liu Han's return to his old club, and the second game is the team's head coach Nelson Sr. returning to his old club, and the NBA league's consideration of game arrangements is still obvious.
Nelson Sr. began coaching the Golden State Warriors in 1988, and before that he coached the Milwaukee Bucks, he focused on defensive tactics, but after arriving at the Warriors, Nelson began to lay out new tactics, he followed the idea of player position ambiguity, and put it into practice, although he later failed for various reasons, but his title of "mad scientist" has been spread.
Now with a team that can realize their ideals to Auckland again, the old Nelson is actually in a pretty good mood, the brocade clothes never go night, the old Nelson feels that he has to make the Aucklanders envious.
The Mavericks who came to Oracle Arena are still the same starting lineup as before, and this lineup is more appropriate in the eyes of Nelson Sr., although Nowitzki's interior defense can be called scum, but the team's offense is still extremely strong.
After the game started, the Mavericks quickly pulled the score away, Liu Han didn't make many shots, he mainly responded to the pass in the offense, or broke through the ball.
The Warriors are a completely civilian team, there are no too famous players inside, if you really want to be famous, only Dunleavy Jr. is still known for relying on his father's fame, and of course, Avery Johnson and Clifford Robinson, who came to the Warriors to retire, are also well-known, and everyone else is biased towards blue-collar players.
In the face of such a Warriors team with unclear tactics and unknown core, the Mavericks' opening waves of offense made the opponent almost unable to find the north.
By the end of the first quarter, the Warriors' home court had already begun to have people leave, because they couldn't stand it, and the 32-14 score was enough to show the gap between the two teams.
In the second quarter of the game, Nelson began to fully use rookies to play the game, Xue Yuyang and Josh Howard both got a lot of playing time, and the Warriors relied on two veterans Avery Johnson and Clifford Robinson to support them, thanks to the rich experience of the two veterans, the Warriors even closed the point difference in the second quarter, although the young people of the Mavericks were full of vitality but after all, it was the second NBA game, so they played a little too anxious.
However, Nelson was not worried about this at all, and in the second quarter, he wholeheartedly explained his tactical thinking to Liu Han on the bench.
At halftime, the score was 59-47, with the Warriors still trailing by 12 points.
However, after entering the third quarter, the main players of the Mavericks all returned to the court, although Nowitzki still felt bad today, or he was still immersed in his own pursuit and could not extricate himself, but under the instigation of Liu Han, after the Warriors' interior line was emptied, Nowitzki also triumphantly passed the addiction of a "strong center".
Under Dunleavy's dispensable interference, Liu Han's shooting rate exceeded seventy, and the team's shooting rate in the third quarter also reached sixty percent, so high efficiency made the game completely a tactical drill for the Mavericks.
By the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks had already expanded the margin to more than 25 points, and the fourth quarter was almost garbage time.
In the fourth quarter, Liu Han and other main players only played less than five minutes before they went to rest, and the Warriors surrendered their guns, and the game entered garbage time.
In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Warriors by 23 points 110-87, Liu Han only played 25 minutes, scored 19 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists of quasi-triple-double data, the Mavericks team of six scored double-doubles, four got double-doubles.
